Indigenous Peoples Resilience Fund (IPRF)

The Indigenous Peoples Resilience Fund (IPRF) will drive a multiphase and multiyear community engagement and funding project by and for Indigenous-led communities in northern Ontario. The project will begin with community engagement sessions to learn from Indigenous peoples about the access to justice priorities in northern Ontario. Based on the consultations, the IPRF will design and disburse a funding bundle, supported by the Foundation’s initial commitment of $1M. The objective of the partnership is to deepen relationships among the Foundation, the IPRF, and Indigenous communities, and increase access to justice for Indigenous and northern Ontario communities.
